This is a Chinese meatball recipe with ground pork and spiced with five-spice powder. Fried meatballs is a homey recipe, one that you can prepare every day for your family without much hassle: a recipe that is great for children and adults alike. I finished almost half of the serving just as soon as the meatballs were out of the wok; it’s delicious as is, and great as an entree for home-cooked Chinese meal. You can also serve this meatball as an appetizer…
The only special ingredient in this fried meatball recipe is the fish paste, which makes the fried meatball extra yummy. I use frozen fish paste. If you can’t find it, you can also substitute it with minced shrimp. Enjoy!

It is hard to get the fish paste in some cities, so I often add in some corn flour or tapioca flour or even bread cubes. Meat balls is one of the best and simple dish. From here we can make it into Sweet and Sour and so on. I often add in some tapioca flour and all the ingredients given and BEAT until a ball is formed then make into balls. Or you can add in some fried salted fish — chop into tiny cubes into the minced meat.

If I don’t have fish sauce, would Oyster Sauce work as a substitute

Fish paste is just basically fish meat. It’s what made fish balls. Not sure if you can buy ready-made fish paste from Singapore, if not you can use shrimp or fresh fish meat.
